% Readme for MAKEPROG 25 Sep 90
%---------------------------------------------------------
% (c) 1989,1990 by J.Schrod (TeXsys).
This is the MAKEPROG system of structured documentation.
It has the version number 1.0.1.
These programs are given away to you under the conditions of the GNU
General Public License. This license is described in the file COPYING.
It is delivered either as a compressed tar or a ZOO archive. If you
dearchive it with ZOO you should use "x//" as the extraction command
to create all directories.
The following directory structure is used:
./makeprog General files, like Readme and COPYING.
./makeprog/src WEB source and TeX macro files
./makeprog/docu documentation
./makeprog/dos DOS executable and Turbo Pascal changefiles
./makeprog/webtoc changefiles and resulting C source from WEBtoC
I have included the article ``Literate Programming'' of Prof. Knuth
in the DOCU subdirectory, it consists of the two files web.tex and
primes.web. It should be read first because it focuses on the
principles standing behind every WEB-like system. Afterwards a look
should be taken on mkprgdoc.tex -- the user documentation of the
MAKEPROG system. The installation procedure is described (very short)
in a section of this report.
Please note that the DOS changefile makeprog.chf is produced by
merging the changefiles makeprog.cf? with TIE and discarding the debug
switches afterwards.
Please send bug reports or enhancements to:

make­prog – A lit­er­ate sys­tem for TeX pro­gram­ming

A lit­er­ate pro­gram­ming sys­tem strongly in­flu­enced by the ideas of
Knuth's web sys­tem, but de­signed for pro­cess­ing TeX-based sources
(doc­u­men­ta­tion pro­cess­ing is pro­vided in both Plain TeX and
LaTeX).

In con­trast to the LaTeX project’s doc
and doc­strip, but in com­mon with
Knuth's sys­tem, there is a sep­a­rate pro­gram (make­prog) for pro­duc­ing
code to run (equiv­a­lent to Knuth's tan­gle). How­ever, make­prog
doesn't re­ar­range code in the way that tan­gle does.
